<p>The very first zine I made was a free quarter-sized poetry zine. I made about a hundred copies and left them around, in various free zine racks, sent them to friends, etc. Photocopying was also way cheaper then (this was 2004 or thereabouts), so I wasn't worried about the cost. No one ever contacted me because I didn't leave any contact information on it. This is not something I would do now, just because I think that my zine is more likely to end up in the hands of someone who actually…</p>

This is not something I would do now, just because I think that my zine is more likely to end up in the hands of someone who actually wants to read it if they have to lay down a few dollars first, besides which I don't have extra cash to print zines and not charge anything for them. But I still love the idea, and I definitely pick up free zines and read them myself when I find them.</p> Just left a bunch of my zines…tag:wemakezines.ning.com,2013-05-28:2288844:Comment:3602882013-05-28T00:16:38.779ZHeather Wreckagehttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/Heather
<p>Just left a bunch of my zines around random spots in Reno, we'll see how that goes.</p>

<p>Also, Zeraph, that's really terrible, I'm really sorry you had to deal with that.</p>

<p>I used to leave my zines around for free until I started getting death threats, plural, in the mail for talking about feminism in the mildest of terms (this was in 2004/5). Lesson: If you think your zine is controversal, be very cautious about including anyway to contact you or identify you.</p>

I had a big day of this in sydney today, rode around with gaff tape and a tonne of zines. Found obscure spots/alleys/comic shops and left them for anyone to find, so much fun!

<p>I left mine in a local library this evening. From what I have read here, this hasn't been a very successful way to get a response but it will be fun to see how long it stays there. </p>

<p>Two weeks ago I was interstate and left 3 copies of my zine outside a book store I was walking past (amongst the flyers &amp; street press) and a few days ago I had letter in my PO Box from someone who had picked one of them up. Quite thrilling.</p>

<p>I just finished the final mockup of "La Lucha!" and this thread is giving me some GREAT ideas of where to leave a couple copies of it. Awesome!</p>
